Hosea
"Ephraim is stricken"
Text: Hosea 9:16
THE SAD FATE OF EPHRAIM
Hosea had to spell out clearly the sad fate of Ephraim, that is Israel. The end was inevitable.
“Ephraim is stricken,
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.
My God will cast them away,
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be wanderers among the nations.”
Hosea 9:16-17
